@flockingbird

What happened to the Flockingbird project?, seems to have gone quiet, unless I saved the wrong link in my browser.

@JackMeinoff I can't help with ths, but can help by boosting. good luck.

I wish I had friends. Especially ones that knew #solidity programming. I have some interesting ideas around a series of #DAO implementations.

@newsbot To me, given they exploit users generally to make money this is an attempt to exploit children,

I have no idea what windows 10 was playing at earlier today.

As Iam running code club, I tried to access stack overflow. Doing this threw up an error, something to do with a website certificate and the time on my system,

At the time it was 10:46 am but the computer clock seemed to think it was 11:45,

Unable to change the computer clock (not admin), I decided to reboot, only this seemed to make the situation worse as the computer clock was now 12:40 something, so moved forward another hour,.

Gave up.

Windows 10 = FAIL

What if... we re-do email, but on ActivityPub? Does it make sense? Would it solve any of numerous email problems? Would it introduce any new ones?

@aral +1 to that, this should be the core of any distro. If elementary can lead the way, that is a good thing.

Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on making inclusivity/accessibility a core tenet in elementary OS.

(Currently, it is not covered in the Human Interface Guidelines at all as far as I can see.)

#elementaryOS #a11y #accessibility #inclusivity

@piggo @nolan I think you are about the same level as me, i can sort of gpg verify iso images

@zleap @nolan I know how to type gpg --recv-keys HEX when a package fails validating, that's about the extent I'm willing to go into. It's enough to get things working

@icedquinn @nolan IIRC UX is user experience surely the Command line is still a User interface therefore people should not be making assumptions.

don't interactive shell scripts exist for a reason along with environment variables to store a path

@nolan Agreed on this as with GPG there has to be a user friendly way to do this that does not expect the user or assume the user is able to do this or is a IT specialist,

A dichotomy of user-hostile software:

- Mainstream software: user-hostile because it has a dozen popups trying to upsell you / accept cookies / grant permission to sell your data
- OSS software: user-hostile because it expects you to know how to use GPG to sign a certificate on the command line, and fuck you if you don't know what any of those words mean
